” Signes is an assembled suite of pieces for a group of instruments strongly characterized by their timber, dynamics and range … Each piece is attached with a maximum of conciseness and rigor to a number of melodic and rhythmic figures assembled according to their affinities or contrasting virtues in pursuit of a magic sound. Rather than a title, each of these pieces highlight a value of archetype graphics, a generator of variants or catalyzing the color of its first element. Hence the general title of the piece “(Maurice Ohana)

Moreover, these six pieces are rooted in the contemplation of the tree “in the night, animated birds, drenched in rain, prisoner of the son of the Virgin, windswept, burned Surfer.” Graphics replacing the titles are placed on the score, they are designed by Maurice Ohana himself.
